This bug's been sitting here unacknowledged for a year now.  It
looks like I'm going to have to inflate the severity - it is, after
all, a Debian Policy 10.7.2 "must", of a type specifically mentioned
in "http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt"; (section 3).

It may well be fixable with a one-line patch to asmounter.c, but if
not, policy goes on to suggest a workaround:

# If your package creates or uses configuration files outside of
# /etc, and it is not feasible to modify the package to use /etc
# directly, put the files in /etc and create symbolic links to those
# files from the location that the package requires.
